PCMCIA card in old Digital Celebris GL 6180

[elvisdieguez]

Hi,

I have this old Digital Celebris GL 6180 machine that I would like to set up as a wireless 802.11b base station but I am having problems getting it to work. I am using a PCI->PCMCIA adapter and an Orinoco Silver PC card. I've compiled an appropriate kernel and emerged pcmcia-cs but the Orinoco card fails to work. When I check dmesg, I get something of the sort:

PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:0c.0. Please try using
pci=biosirq

TI 1410 rev 01 PCI-to-CardBus at slot 00:0c, mem 0x10000000
host opts [0]: [serial pci & irq] [no pci irq] [lat 64/176] [bus 1/4]
ISA irqs (scanned) = none!<6> *NO* card interrupts, polling interval = 1000
[ms]

I've checked using Google and also looked on the Gentoo forums but found nothing that would help me. I've tried using pci=biosirq as well as shutting off all the devices I do not use (through the BIOS) such as the built-in NIC and sound to free up IRQs but that doesn't change anything. Does anyone have any options?

Thank you,
Elvis
